God created weed and more. Each created thing has its usefulness when used appropriately. Problem is what is appropriate? This is where research comes in. Weed smoking is unhealthy and potentially addictive. However, science is gradually unlocking its value for medical management including for cancer. May be sooner than later we will have it in oral or injectable forms for managing some diseases. |

For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. Bitter fruits must exist side by side to sweet fruits Plants that are good and those that are bad. If not righteousness nor wickedness cannot be brought to pass. Man is an agent unto himself to be enticed by one or the other. Either he is enticed by the good or the bad.. Reasoning: A and B pass a wrap of weed. A walks pass not enticed by it B approaches it and takes the weed. Our actions can lead us on paths leading to life or destruction.... That is the way God works. The tree of knowledge of good and evil placed in opposition to the tree of life 1 Like |

abbey621: This is one of the logic Bible referenced answers so far...does that means, you agree that it is not a sin, if taken in moderation? Though you point to sport organizations, who ban some of these stuff. I do not know, if we can use them as yardsticks for biblical precedent. There are many things they allow that are not necessarily godly. |

It's not a sin to take it. Is it a sin for typically to have sex? No.... Just that when you Abuse it by having it forcefully on someone or with an illegal person then it becomes morally wrong. And as an aside, I don't think the Abuse of weed is a sin, it's Just illegal and improper to society..... |

KENNSAMMY: One vital point you raised is the one relating to, how others will perceive Christians, if they smoke. We all agree that, it is not sin to smoke it in moderation or cook and eat it. But by putting knowledge and freedom to use, we might cause another brother/sister who does not have this knowledge or level of faith to stumble and commit sin or hinder the spread of the gospel as people will tend to recoil away from is, when they perceive that odor during our attempt to evangelize them. It become a sin to us, if our knowledge causes a brother to sin or hinders to spread of the gospel. As Paul put it, if eating meat will make my brother stumble, I will not eat meat again. 2 Likes |

byrron: And what made you think cannibalism is a sin? Yes, it is immoral, disgusting, repulsive, etc...but as long as you did not kill or cause the death of that individual, strictly looking at it with a full knowledge of the Bible that says the man without the soul is nothing, it is not sin. In essence, from the scriptures; there is no aota of difference between a dead human being and a dead animal, they are both compose of the same chemical compounds. In built in mammals is the instincts not to naturally eat their dead kinds...dogs, lions, tigers, hyenas, etc and off course humans react to this same instincts and as such humans are not exceptional when they behave this way. And just like dogs, lions, tigers or hyenas have killed or eaten their kinds in times of famine or scarcity of food, humans in similar desperate situation through tout history have done likewise, more proof, that we are not exceptional when it comes to this instinct. 2 Likes |

linearity: Most people forget that the Bible just like the other holy books is subject to interpretation. Nowhere in the Bible is smoking weed considered a sin but at the same time nowhere in the Bible is taking Cocaine or other illicit drugs considered a sin. So let's remove the sin part and focus on what's right or wrong! The Bible specifically states that we should not cause harm to ourselves or others, so if taking weed violates this then I think we have erred and should repent but if it doesn't then we are good to go. Every case is different, weed is not the culprit, the culprit here is human tolerance! |

linearity: You are right about the cocaine but wrong about the weed. The plant contains the mind-altering chemical delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other related compounds. THC when consumed in high amounts can lead to insanity! |

abbey621: Great that, we are finding common grounds here...i think, we are making the same point...as might have noticed, I used the word 'medicinal' when referring to the chemicals in weed. Yes, it contain naturally occurring THC and as you have indicated, if not taken in moderation leads to problems. Also note that, synthesized THC is the active ingredient in many western medicines we take today for nausea, vomiting especially for people undergoing cancer treatments and it's synthesized form is also used to medically increase appetite in patients who find it difficult to eat. THC also protects the brain and stimulates growth. A chemical like THC (called Anandamide) is also found in our body, it helps regulate our mood, sleep, memory and appetite. That is why, despite the fact that the U.S. government ban on weeds, the FDA has approved many of drugs containing THC, which are then administer to people to supplement the Anandamide deficiency in order to continue those bodily functions, we have come to take for granted. Hence, when weeds or some these western medicines that contain THC are abused, they lead to terrible consequences, but that in itself does mean that THC is bad, but that taking it in excess just like any other thing is bad. 1 Like |

linearity: Agree! That's why weed in itself is not sinful but excessively consuming it to the point that it becomes detrimental to your health or those around you is what's considered sinful just like alcohol or sex |

You are at liberty to use all logics to justify the act of smoking weed but be told that you cannot escape God's eternal judgment. It is not everything God created that is still retaining its original creational form or value. Some of the creatures are spoiled by Satan. Anything that hurts or alters the mind or mood of man is bad. If you read the accounts of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden,God forbade them from eating certain fruits in the Garden,yet He (God) created such fruits. Besides,our body ought to be the temple of God which must not be polluted. Do not let anybody to deceive and mislead you by telling you that smoking is not sinful in the sight of God. Although it is not expressly mentioned or condemned in the Bible,you should know that you must keep your body blameless. A smoker constitutes nuisance. The smoke from cigarrete causes irritation of the eyes and aggravates respiratory problems or diseases. Tobacco is very detrimental to the health of the smoker,including the non-smoker who ignorantly inhales it. God does not support anything that has the potential to suffocate or cause ill-health. As children of God,we must remain mentally sound and dedicated to the things that edify our soul and not to things that defile and pollute our soul. It is a matter of choice. When God commanded Adam not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, He(God) did not mention the name of the plant neither did He deny creating it. So,if smoking is what you cannot do without then go ahead. But I pray for you to be set free from that satanic bondage. |
